Multi-culturalism- A learning process

I believe that learning about the people we live with in a society is essential and should begin from an early age. Implementing understanding and knowledge in children at a school age is important as it allows them to know about the different kinds of people that exist in our world.

Some people in older generations believe that people should stick to their own knid, but our society is forever changing and views are always changing, and now more than important to mix with different people.

As a country, for a long time, we have not been a single faith society, but a multi-faith society. Single faith schools in the UK are not necessarily a bad thing, but it is vital for those schools to educate the students about the different faiths and cultures. Restricting ourselves to knowing about only one faith or culture will inevitably lead to greater ignorance resulting in more segragation and marginalisation.

Multi-culturalism is a lot like smoking, a self inflicted deadly addiction that usually kills the host with a multiplicity of fatal ailments. A bad choice that if recognized and corrected will cause withdrawl symptons for the host, but the end result will be to become much more healthy and robust, rather than pursuing the addiction and watching your body deteroriate into an early ignominous death. One can recover from a momentary collapse, death from a grotesque malignancy is permanent.

Could you please not remove the remarks made by Michael Cook? I came across this blog whilst supporting my young daughter in writing about changes since the 1950s, and find his comments to be vitriolic and unjustified.- although helpful in demonstrating the hatred some people can feel for multiculturalism.
